9 Months
1st of all I'm in shock that he is only 3 months away from being 1 years old! Shocked that he has been here just as long I was pregnant with him! And shocked how much in love I am with him! He is a very loved little man, I get reports from nursery that he's "SUCH A GOOD BOY!" and "What a sweet smile he has." This past week when we arrived at church, Ryan and I put out our hands to shake the greeters' hands only to hear "HI Jameson!" both greeters went right to him and our hands were left waving in the wind! We got a pretty good laugh out of that! Jameson's favorite things to do is stand next to furniture...usually he'll laugh when you stand him next to something. He still LOVES to swing! Ryan hung up a swing from a branch (about 2-3 stories up!) and since it's been such a beautiful fall J has been enjoying almost daily! He loves music, stories and tickles! It seems that he's putting away the "stranger fears" and is able to relax and enjoy new people! At J's last doctors appointment he weighed in at 18lbs which puts him in the 13th percentile: highest percentile he's ever been in! lol He's also 27.25 inches long. Happy, Healthy and very talkitive little boy! He is saying "Dada" now, but he doesn't know what it really means. He's not crawling yet but he's figuring out how to scootch backwards. He is now eating some solids like: cheerios, bananas, bread etc. He just figured out how to clap! J and I were spending a day in Muskegon and his clapping skills took off! At one point my dad was playing songs to J on his guitar and when the song was over without any prompting J started to clap!! He sure loves his Grandpa! so sweet! On a sad note, just this past month J has stopped snuggling/curling into me during naps. He would still prefer to take a nap with me, but it has to be next to me. I should be glad that it lasted 8 months, but it's still hard to close that chapter! Here are some pictures over the last month:
